Re: My puppy has been "hyperventilating"?

Are you a vet? If not, why would you take it upon yourself to change the dosage of medication? Medications are administered by weight, not by age.

If your puppy needed the entire dose and you gave 1/2 of it, all you've really done is create an environment in his body that enables bacteria to resist the drug and flourish.

Get him back to the vet and make sure you tell the vet that you cut his medication in half, as he may now need another, different one in order to clear it up.
